Level 1
Guppy:
An enjoyable class for a parent and child to learn communication in the water. Both parent and child learn water orientation and work on developing water safety skills. Benefits include bonding with children, water awareness, water safety, instructional skills, and self confidence. Through fun and safe water exposure, parents and children will build a foundation for future swim lessons. 

Level 2
Polliwog:
A water familiarity class designed for beginners in the water to develop introductory swimming skills and promote independent water movement. Swimmers learn basic stroke and kicking skills, blowing bubbles, floating both front and back, as well as pool safety and fun ways to fall in love with the water.

Eel: A class for little swimmers who are already moving eagerly and independently through the water for 5 yards with a kickboard on their belly. Introduces freestyle, rotary breathing, independent and assisted back-floating, and elementary backstroke.  We will work towards swimmers gaining the ability to swim several feet unassisted. 

Level 3
Starfish: A great fit for kids who are comfortable and confident swimming independently. The primary focus of this level is on mastering freestyle, learning backstroke and the streamline position, and learning to tread water. Basic diving skills will be introduced and time will be devoted to increasing comfort in deeper water.

Minnow: This class is designed for swimmers who are able to swim 15 yards of freestyle; demonstrating stroke technique, strong kicking, and proper rotary breathing. The course reviews backstroke and introduces the basics of butterfly, breaststroke, and flip turns. Children who are at this level should be completely independent, allowing us to work towards better stamina and endurance in the water.

Level 4
Fish: A class for swimmers who are able to swim 25 yards of freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly, with a thorough understanding of breathing and technique. Most of this class time is focused on proper technique for all four strokes while mastering flip turns and block starts.

Flying Fish: This class is designed to prepare children for competitive swim team and improve swimming fitness once they can consistently swim 50 meters freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Training will model the format of a competitive swim training, with more one-on-one instruction and personalized feedback. Swimmers at this level will work to improve their stroke technique, breath control, swim endurance, flip turns, open turns, and confidence in the water. 

PRIVATE & SEMI PRIVATE OUTDOOR SWIM LESSONS

The MAC swim instructors use a positive coaching approach to help swimmers of all ages develop a love of the water.

Simply put, we all learn in different ways. Sometimes, swimmers need one-on-one time to get started with a new skill, and then thrive in a group environment in the future. Our team @ The MAC understand your children have varying needs. Many parents of young swimmers inquire about whether their child should have private or group swim lessons. Just like your child, the answer is unique and our recommendation depends on your child’s specific circumstances. Private lessons are great for adults as well.

Call 573-449-2606, e-mail [email protected] or stop by the MAC to schedule!

Do we have to be members of the MAC Summer Club to take private lessons?

Yes, private lessons are reserved for members. Contact us for membership information and vacation at the MAC this summer!

Why choose private lessons?

Establishing Trust and Comfort  For children who are apprehensive about the water, one-on-one time with a highly trained swim instructor may be the best option for developing trust – both of the teacher and of the process.

Improving Confidence Depending on the child’s past experiences and current skills, confidence may first need to be established in private lessons, where the child is learning the basics.

Schedules Private swim lessons offer a convenient schedule your coach will create with you.

Overcoming Challenges and Building Skills For nearly all swim students, a time will come when they are challenged on a particular skill. One on one times gives them personalized coaching. Students who are enrolled in group swim lessons can also sign up for supplemental private swim lessons to help them work on the skill in a one-on-one setting.
